The Knee and Shoulder Handbook is meant for everyone who has basic questions about shoulder and knee injuries and cannot spend the time to search every article on Google. It is designed to give every reader detailed information and the best solutions about the problems presented. This plain language handbook is also medically accurate for the curious individual without medical training. It is equally useful to those in all the medical professions, particularly nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, and sports trainers. Medical students also find it valuable in initial clinical training. 

It really depends on the problem. Trainers and parents should read the children sections first and then find solutions to particular problems as needed. The knee and shoulder sections are injury-focused. If you have seen a doctor and don't understand a term or the anatomy they talked about, then you can go directly to the glossary for clear explanations, and the anatomical drawings for a visual reference. In the appendix there are simple exercises, more tips on seeing the doctor, making the best of a visit, and questions about surgery. There is an extensive index in the back of the book to find the pages you need quickly.
